At Urban Moose, we are committed to delivering high-quality, accurate, and thoughtfully curated content that empowers developers, designers, entrepreneurs, and curious minds. Our Editorial Policy outlines the principles, processes, and standards that govern the creation, review, and publication of content on our blog.
1. Purpose and Scope
The goal of Urban Moose is to inform, inspire, and engage our readers with insightful content related to:
- UI/UX and digital design
- Frontend and backend development

This policy applies to all forms of published material on our platform, including blog posts, guides, interviews, case studies, guest articles, and visual content.

We aim to:

7. Diversity and Inclusion
Urban Moose values diverse perspectives and is committed to inclusive publishing. We encourage submissions and representation from underrepresented groups across the tech and design communities.
We avoid language that is discriminatory, exclusionary, or non-inclusive, and actively review our editorial choices through this lens.

User engagement is welcome and encouraged, but we maintain high standards for community interaction. We reserve the right to moderate or remove comments that:
- Are abusive, hateful, or offensive
- Promote spam, misinformation, or illegal content
- Detract from constructive dialogue
9. Corrections and Updates
Urban Moose is committed to transparency and will issue corrections or clarifications when needed. Significant changes to articles will be noted with a timestamp or editor’s note.
Minor updates (e.g., fixing typos, updating links) may be made without formal notice.
